A booking is made with us when you pay, and a binding contract will come into existence between you and us as soon as we have issued you with a booking confirmation this is either in the form of a website confirmation, an invoice or signature on the terms and conditions form (this is as per the first received)

Amendments to your booking:

If you wish to make any amendments to your booking, we will endeavour to offer you an alternative date if available, however, changes cannot be made within 60 days of the event and if you do not want to attend this will be treated as a cancellation by you and cancellation charges will stand.

Amendments will be charged as follows:
